Chapter 1322 Taking Over Power

The day after Wang Gang met with Uesugi Tora, a grain transport team arrived outside the Northern Qi military camp.

An army of 200,000 consumes a huge amount of food and fodder every day. The Northern Qi army has long been short of food, and the soldiers cannot have a full meal. When they see the huge food transport team, they all swallow their saliva unconsciously.

When Uesugi Tora and Sean received the news, they immediately rushed out of the tent and contacted the grain transport team in person.

Of course, Wang Gang couldn't transport the grain himself, so the one who came was a captain named Jibuha.

"General Uesugi, I'm ordered by the Khan to transport fifty carts of food and fodder here. The remaining food and fodder will arrive in the afternoon." Jibuha said to Uesugi Tiger and Sean in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Shang Shanhu was overjoyed and said happily: "Cang Lang Khan is indeed a trustworthy person. General Jibuha, please wait a moment. I will send someone to receive the food and grass right away."

Jibuha waved his hand and ordered his men to unload the food and fodder and hand them over to the Northern Qi soldiers.

Uesugi Tora and Sean rubbed their hands with joy as they watched cartloads of food and fodder being moved into the military camp.

"General Jibuha, please go into the military tent and rest. I will prepare some wine to entertain you." said Uesugi Tora.

Jibuha did not act pretentiously. He called a few subordinates and went into the military tent together.

Half an hour later, a loud shout suddenly came from the military tent.

"Someone come! General Uesugi is under attack."

The Northern Qi soldiers quickly rushed into the tent, and then saw Uesugi Tora lying on the ground with five arrows sticking out of his body. Sean was seriously injured and vomiting blood, and he was right next to Uesugi Tora, and his life or death was unknown.

Jibuha and others disappeared without a trace.

Before the Northern Qi soldiers could react, shouts of killing were heard outside the camp, and a large number of Southern Qing soldiers attacked the camp.

After Uesugi Tora was killed, the Northern Qi army was leaderless and immediately fell into chaos, and was killed by the Southern Qing soldiers without any weapons or armor.

Ku He, the imperial prefect of Northern Qi, was ordered to take charge of the army as a military supervisor and organize a counterattack.

Later, Wang Gang led the Yuan and Mongolian army to provide support, and together with Ku He, they defeated the Nanqing army, and finally saved the main force of the Northern Qi army.

After the war, Ku He sent people to investigate and found out that Jibuha and the grain transport team were actually Nanqing troops in disguise, and what they transported was not grain or fodder, but mud and sand.

The person who killed Uesugi Tora was Yan Xiaoyi, the ninth-rank archer god of Nanqing.

After completing the investigation, Ku He immediately wrote a letter to Zhan Doudou, asking him to send another general to take over the army. Before the general arrived, the Northern Qi army would be temporarily under the command of Wang Gang.

Sean was seriously injured and endured seven days of suffering in the military camp. Before he died, he had a moment of clarity and called Wang Gang and Ku He.

"Why do you want to kill me and Shangshan Hu?" Sean shouted when he saw Wang Gang and Ku He.

Wang Gang and Ku He looked at each other and said with a smile: "Sean, are you confused? The person who assassinated Shang Shanhu was Nan Qingyan Xiaoyi."

Sean was so excited that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Wang Gang's face and said, "Yan Xiaoyi followed Li Yunrui in the rebellion and was killed by Emperor Qing a long time ago! The Nanqing soldiers that day should have been disguised as Yuan Mongols!"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "As expected of the former king of spies in the Wei Kingdom."

Sean said angrily: "I'm ready to give in, why?"

Wang Gang and Ku He didn't say anything, they just looked at the entrance of the tent.

Zhan Doudou slowly walked in from outside the tent.

The moment he saw Zhan Doudou, Sean understood everything.

"You and Yuan Meng have been secretly colluding for a long time!" Sean said gritting his teeth.

Zhan Doudou stood beside Wang Gang and said with a smile: "The alliance between Northern Qi and Yuan Meng is known to everyone, how can it be called a secret connection?"

Sean covered his chest and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Zhan Doudou saw that Sean was about to die, so he just let him be a ghost.

"Uesugi Tora commands hundreds of thousands of elite troops from Northern Qi. How can I rest assured if he is not dead? Not only must he die, but he must not die in my hands."

Sean smiled bitterly and said, "I should have thought that you wouldn't let us go so easily! If you don't get into the position of Hu'er, you will die.

But I don't understand why Canglang Khan helped you? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to Yuan Mongolia if Northern Qi split up?"

Wang Gang raised his lips and did not tell Sean the truth. Sean was very smart and had made many calculations, but the only thing he missed was that Zhan Doudou was a woman, and Wang Gang's woman. If she gave birth to a child in the future, Wang Gang's son would definitely inherit the Northern Qi Dynasty.

No matter how stupid Wang Gang was, he knew how to choose between his woman, son and Sean.

"I once advised you to take your grandson and live in seclusion overseas, but unfortunately you didn't listen." Wang Gang shook his head.

Sean asked: "Can you please let my grandson go? He never knew his true identity."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Yan Bingyun has been controlled by Shen Zhong. Although he doesn't know his own life experience, he is too loyal to Nan Qing. He must die."

Sean's face gradually turned gray and his vitality faded rapidly.

"It seems that God has doomed my Xiao family." Xiao En spat out a mouthful of blood and died completely.

Ku He lowered his head and sighed, then said to Zhan Doudou: "Your Majesty, please give Sean a decent funeral. After all, I knew him well."

Zhan Doudou promised: "Of course, no problem. This time, I was able to successfully take over the military power from Shangshan Hu, thanks to the help of the national teacher. I will arrange this small matter."

Ku He glanced at Zhan Doudou and Wang Gang, said nothing, and left the tent.

Wang Gang suddenly put his arm around Zhan Doudou's waist and said with a smile: "I will help you take back your military power. How are you going to thank me?"

Zhan Doudou rolled his eyes at Wang Gang, pushed him away, and said, "This is the Northern Qi military camp, people are coming and going, don't make a fuss."

Wang Gang didn't care, and continued to hug Zhan Doudou and said, "What are you afraid of? Without your order, who dares to break in?"

Zhan Doudou blushed and pointed at Sean's body and said, "This won't work. Let's go somewhere else."

Wang Gang laughed and ran out pulling Zhan Doudou.

…………

Three days later, Zhan Doudou basically took over the Northern Qi army, and then joined forces with the Yuan and Mongolian troops, and marched towards the capital of Southern Qing in a mighty manner.

Emperor Qing received the news and prepared to lead an army of 300,000 in person. However, when allocating military supplies, some conservative factions interfered, resulting in the coalition forces almost reaching the capital before Emperor Qing even set out.

The Yuan, Mongolia and Northern Qi coalition forces were able to reach Kyoto so quickly, all thanks to Chen Pingping's dark web help.

Whenever the coalition forces arrived at a city, they would contact the dark web and assassinate the generals defending the city. This is when the influence of martial arts masters on the war was reflected.

When Emperor Qing received the news, he was shocked to find that Qing had already lost most of its territory and the coalition forces would be able to reach Kyoto in seven days at most.

Fortunately, there are 300,000 soldiers in the Kyoto area, and there is enough food in the city. If they focus on defense, they can hold out for more than half a year.

Emperor Qing urgently summoned his ministers, preparing to defend the city personally and boost the morale of the troops.

But at this time, Prime Minister Lin actually proposed to abandon Kyoto, retreat to the old capital, and then send envoys to seek peace.

Emperor Qing directly rejected Prime Minister Lin’s request and then put the sword on Prime Minister Lin’s neck.

"Do you want me to be the king of a fallen country?"

Prime Minister Lin pleaded: "Your Majesty, Qing has already lost most of its territory, and the people in Kyoto are in panic. If we continue to fight, there will be a worry of national destruction."

"If I am the king of a fallen country, you are also a minister of a fallen country. Do you really think that Yuan Meng and Northern Qi will let you go?" Emperor Qing said viciously.

Prime Minister Lin has his own little thoughts. Lin Wan'er is now in Wang Gang's hands. As Lin Wan'er's father, he is his father-in-law after all. It should be no problem for him to save his life, so he advised Emperor Qing to seek peace.

When the war broke out, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous. The Yuan and Mongolian soldiers didn't know who their father-in-law, Canglang Khan, was.

"No need to persuade me anymore. Tomorrow I will lead all the civil and military officials to defend the city in person to show my determination to fight to the death." Emperor Qing inserted the sword in front of Prime Minister Lin, not giving him any chance to refuse.

Inside the palace, Emperor Qing even summoned all the eunuchs, and sent all those who were able to go to the battlefield to defend the city.

As people's hearts were in turmoil, a group of people sneaked into the Kyoto Imperial Palace through a secret passage.

Emperor Qing suddenly felt a palpitation and subconsciously picked up the sword. Then he felt three powerful auras rushing into the bedroom.

Wang Gang, Ku He, Si Gu Jian, the three great masters stood in front of Emperor Qing. (End of this chapter)
